Summary of Ethical Guidelines
JARH is committed to ensuring COPE guidelines and HEC ethics in the publication and quality of articles. Conformance to standards of ethical behaviour is therefore expected of all parties involved: authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher. In particular:

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of the research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism and AI in all its forms constitute unethical publishing behaviour and are unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing the same research to multiple journals. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors agree on approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively based on their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor’s research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments so that authors can use them to improve the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
